go back to onsighting? as in, change you're head from the idea that you're going to fail the first time?

Framed
It's a gift for a friend who's helped me quite a bit.
Bonus points if you can guess the location AND the route.

Time to iron the sports bra so I look good for the camera! Dark clouds made it too dark for pics, so we just climbed. Warmed up on a 2 pitch 5.9, then rapped over a new line that goes through a 4' roof that we thought would go at hard 5.10. Scrubbing of lichen revealed a huge series of jugs in all the right places. It started to sprinkle as we were finishing the quick cleaning on rap, but it was so easy that I lead the FA at only 5.6.  The second pitch went at 5.4. Unpredictably, this is probably the best protected and highest quality beginner climb on the whole cliff, and the 45th to be climbed. We named it "Coyote Rain" for the howling of coyotes and the light drizzle on the first ascent. The rap off was done in a steady downpour, as was the 25 minute walk out. Looks like rain right through the weekend. raining here today...yay! I'm suspicious that said sports bra doesn't exist. a 5.6 with a 4-foot roof...something tells me you were climbing several hours south of NH. sounds pretty sweet, to be honest, despite your frowny face. It did climb like a Gunks route. It really is a sweet line, but I was hoping to pad my ticklist with difficulty! Number chasing+++FTW I get the feeling that's always the case: that you see what you really want to be a 5.10 because it looks totally doable, but then you climb it and realize just why it really is as doable as it looks. still, it's interesting to hear you say that. do you feel that you're brimming with so much confidence these days that you're just throwing yourself at whatever presents itself...and you're confident you can handle anything? I have been pushing myself by jumping on most anything, although I have not attempted too many 11's this year; the one's I have done I have sent, so I really should crank it up a notch. I have been particularly interested in new routing and onsighting 10s. The local routes seem to be pretty heady, so I have really pushed the mental side of things and am slowly working my way up the difficulty scale as I knock off everything else. Last night was the first time climbing for me in two weeks, and after the first 20 feet or so I found myself right back in the zone psychologically and feeling stronger than the last time out. Gear systems are dialed, problem solving is sharp, and I am enjoying every minute outside. I'm in a really good place right now. Crushin! I seriously am coming up there this fall. Got like 2+ weeks of vacation banked. Just waiting for reliable temps. Early September??
Could be, could be...

What's Broken Sling go at? I think that's above my pay grade. Anyway, no. It's almost as popular as High E, though it's a much better pitch.

Now where's Joel and his script that tells you how many posts were made where. You'd have a higher non-campground coefficient if more of your threads stayed in general. Its funny... i have made threads that I intended to be shit-shows destined for the hole but stay in general... but the ones that are in good fun, and on topic, always end up getting banished. I went to Chile to learn Spanish and write without the intention of finding a girlfriend or ever going to Brasil. I ended up in Brasil, speaking Portuguese, with a girlfriend, and as an artist. This is the way of the world. Dood, you need not tell me about the ways of the universe... I never intended my life to turn into this kind of disaster.
Bringing this one back out... Looks like things weren't disaster enough.

Could you have picked a more iconic route?

OK Burns, just know that I have a Gunks guidebook and am not afraid to post a guess for each one. PC+++

Hmmm...Ah, I remember why broken sling sticks in my head. One of my climbing partners was climbing that with another partner. The leader fell and the belayor spotted her, but the ground is kind of uneven there and the belayor fell back and sprained or broke her wrist.
but no, not shockley's or bonnie's either. Neither even remotely look like this at the top.
There's another uber classic you're both forgetting, but it's just a semantics game now anyway.
